Using python, in the following list I need to remove phone numbers which are repeated with country codes.
['(+44)45860787163','(+27)16345860787','45860787163','16345860787']
I tried using Cartesian product and 'in' operator to compare strings but nothing seems to be working. What I'd like to keep are the full phone numbers.
['(+44)45860787163','(+27)16345860787']
Using list comprehension
l = ['(+44)45860787163','(+27)16345860787','45860787163','16345860787']
l = [x for x in l if '(' in x]
print(l)
>>> ['(+44)45860787163', '(+27)16345860787']
If you want to be extra secure you can check for both semi colons
l = [x for x in l if '(' in x and ')' in x]
